Local Police
Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were marked, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they stated in a release.
Officers report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been applied in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Police then found many other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests show the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to where it came from; officials are currently not aware of any injuries in relation with the incident," they stated.
City officials said they were working "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the community for tips.
An important representative said the vandalism left him stunned and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist attack in 2020," he posted on social media, referring to the death of nine victims by a gunman targeting residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
